Description

Paul Snyder recalls his World War Two service in the U.S. Navy, beginning in 1940, in the Pacific theater. He discusses the romantic music Tokyo Rose played, and how it made some soldiers, including him, homesick. Snyder recalls Tokyo Rose’s propaganda as usually ineffective, due to its exaggerated nature or inaccuracy, but remembers feeling unsettled when she called out the name and location of his submarine or accurately relayed submarines or ships the Japanese sunk.
